Waiting for the results of an election beyond what anyone would consider a reasonable amount of time should arouse the suspicion of anyone paying attention. This waiting game may not have anything to do with who wins and when they win though. Instead, the purpose of these delays is to erode faith in the system. Not everything has to be ‘rigged’. You only need nudges of a few percentage points, select reports from the media, victory speeches before even half the votes are counted, talking points like ‘trust the process’, tabulators unable to process votes justifying longer delays, turning people away because paper isn’t available or for the latter reason - and doing this in specific areas where one party tends to vote heavier - and having machines that count a certain percent of every lot of ballots with the remaining unread ballots, as with those from faulty tabulators, being sent to special locations. None of this is necessarily illegal or even fraudulent, unless there was conspiring to conduct the process in such a way. All of these potential methods can swing the vote in one particular direction or another in a manner totally undetectable while simultaneously undermining faith in the system. Since 80% of the country, on average, are upset and don’t trust elections already, it seems that the coup against our Republic is working better than planned.
